I'm pleased that Scania are offering a 9 litre engine with their E400 chassis but I wonder whether Arriva would pull their fingers out if the Cummins units on the X15 and X18 start playing up? What Arriva could do in a few year if they wanted to upgrade the X10 / X11 is this:

- 7522 to 7528 to Blyth for X10 / X11.
- 7529 to 7533 refurbished to Sapphire spec and joining the above.
- 7501 and 7502 to Blyth acting as spares.
- 15 new Sapphire spec Scania Euro 6 MMC's to Ashington for the X21 / X22 joined by a further 2 new spares in Max spec and corporate livery.
- 10 new Max + Scania Euro 6 MMC's to Ashington for the X15 / X18 joined by a further spare in normal Max spec and corporate livery. Max + would basically be Sapphire but with no Audio announcements due to the long distances and Max branding.

I was interested to see where the storage/fuelling point would be. Those pictures have clarified them. I wonder if additional protection, will be given around the internal casing?

Looks smart in Blue.

Does anyone know where the gas will be stored?, as the single deckers have the pods on the top, as seen on Daniels photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/danielgrahamm/14290155712

Edit:

Also i don't know if the gas has a special name or not as its fuel so i just said "gas"... If you know, please correct me.

I think there's a compartment at the back. It's been a few weeks since I read the original article about it and my memory isn't the greatest.

Ah so it'll be set out like the Omnicities, that's not bad.

Thanks for the info. Smile

It is indeed at the rear but is not set out like the Omnicitys, all the rear is taken by the engine bay hence why there's no rear window.

EdIT to accommodate the tanks, The rear overhang is longer than Diesel variants.

Putting renewable / green energy aside, what woud the energy cost (fuel or gas or a mixture of both) difference be between the Streetdeck and the Scania Enviro 400 Gas Bus?

The gas supply at Sunderland go through the main gas supply from the street i think, not sure if this costs them any extra though.

I would think gas would be cheaper than fuel.

Not sure what the cost difference is between building a gas re-fueling station or a fuel station.
